When someone dies we can be totally unprepared

Even if the death is expected it can be difficult to know how to best help the children and young people in our care. Stand‑by‑me offers information, advice and support to help children, young people and their families living in North Hertfordshire & Stevenage understand and manage their grief.

At what can be a confusing and emotional time, Stand‑by‑me offers support when it’s needed the most.
